Pink it Forward

In honor of Emily Ransom, I decided to pink-up my blog for the month. Emily is the first daughter of Wendy and Jonathan Ransom, and 3 years ago yesterday she made her way to Heaven. She was 2 1/2 years old and had been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. So yesterday we celebrated her life at school with a Pink Day parade to her garden. Jodi Martin, a mom at school, lead us in prayer. All the kids (and teachers) paid to dress in pink and bought pink mardi gras beads to raise money to help find a cure.
So this month the Ransoms are asking you to "pink it forward" I copies Wendy's explanation of pinking it forward:

"First of all, I want to let you all know of how we will be honoring Emily's and Carrie's journey into heaven this year. We will be having a month long Pink it forward event. Beginning on Feb. 20 with Pink Day at St.Peter's and ending on March 19, we will celebrate the lives of 2 amazing young women who were taken from us far too soon. You can Pink it Forward in many ways! The idea is that you just do something kind for someone else, and let them know you are doing it in honor of Emily and/or Carrie, and ask them to Pink it Forward. It can be as simple as saying a prayer, buying a cup of coffee, cooking a meal, volunteering at a hospital, animal shelter or community kitchen, anything like that. In these economic times, it's a great way to make a difference, without spending a dime. Emily and Carrie did so much in their short lives to change the world, it is our job to continue that for them. So, first thing is to forward this website on to everyone you know and ask them to Pink it Forward. I'd love to see this go all around the country, please help me make that happen. Also, if you have a Pink it Forward story, please let us know we love to hear how our girls continue to impact the world."-Wendy

So go out and pink it forward! http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/emilyransom
